FIRST LOOK AT HARRIS DICKINSON, JOSEPH QUINN, PAUL MESCAL AS THE BEATLES IN THE FOUR MOVIE CINEMA EXPERIENCE WITH JAMES NORTON, HARRY LLOYD, DAVID MORRISSEY

    THE BEATLES   

FIRST IMAGES FROM FOUR MOVIE EXPERIENCE

It will be one of the most star studded movie projects ever and we have the first images to prove it: THE BEATLES A Four Film Cinema Experience will see Paul Mescal starring as Paul McCartney. Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison and Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr. It will be a long wait, though, because the four films directed by Sam Mendes, each from the perspective of a different Beatle, are set to be released on the same day - 7th April 2028. The stellar cast also includes Saoirse Ronan as Linda McCartney, James Norton as Brian Epstein, Mia McKenna-Bruce as Maureen Starkey, Anna Sawai as Yoko Ono, Aimee Lou Wood as Pattie Boyd, Harry Lloyd as George Martin and David Morrissey as Jim McCartney. Leanne Best will play Mimi Smith, Bobby Schofield will play Neil Aspinall, Daniel Hoffmann-Gill will play Mal Evans, Arthur Darvill will play Derek Taylor and Adam Pally will play Allen Klein. Each of the four movies will tell the story of one of the famous music group members and will be, strangely enough, released at the same time. Who do you think will be most popular?

THE HISTORY OF SOUND

There are a couple of gay themed movies at Cannes this year, among them is THE HISTORY OF SOUND  with gay icons Josh O'Connor and Paul Mescal as two young men during World War I who set out to record the lives, voices and music of their American countrymen. In this snatched, short-lived moment in their young lives, and while discovering the epic sweep of the U.S., both men are deeply changed. This historical romantic drama film, directed by Oliver Hermanus is based on the short story of the same name by Ben Shattuck. Some critics have called it moving and tasteful in the first reviews from Cannes.

 

PILLION WITH ALEXANDER SKARSGARD

Then there is something that contains, as far as I have heard tons of extreme graphic sex and Alexander Skarsgard has said their shooting was very intense. Fun and filthy romance with heart PILLION follows Colin (Harry Melling), a weedy wallflower letting life pass him by. That is until Ray (Skarsgård), the impossibly handsome leader of a motorbike club, takes him on as his submissive. Ray uproots Colin from his dreary suburban life, introducing him to a community of kinky, queer bikers and taking all sorts of virginities along the way. But as Colin steps deeper into Ray’s world of rules and mysteries, he begins to question whether the life of a 24/7 submissive is for him. 

PLAINCLOTHES WITH RUSSELL TOVEY

This one did not hit Cannes, but gay romantic drama PLAINCLOTHES is also arriving this year.  Russell Tovey and Tom Blyth have been set as leads in the indie movie from Carmen Emmi who directed this story which she also wrote. Set in the ’90s and inspired by true events, it follows a working-class undercover officer who is tasked with entrapping and apprehending gay men, only to find himself drawn to one of his targets. 

SEE THE STUNNING FIRST TRAILER FOR GLADIATOR II WITH PAUL MESCAL, JOSEPH QUINN, CONNIE NIELSEN

   GLADIATOR II  

FIRST TRAILER FOR THE EPIC SEQUEL

Vanity Fair showed us the first images last week and today we have the first trailer for GLADIATOR II which stars Paul Mescal in the lead role of Lucius Verus alongside Pedro Pascal as Marcus Acacius,

Gladiator II will arrive this November to cinemas

and Connie Nielsen who returns to the story that will continue November 22nd when the film hits cinemas ahead of the festive season.Two relatively young brothers rule the vast empire, with Fred Hechinger as Emperor Caracalla and Joseph Quinn as Emperor Geta.

 

  GLADIATOR II
 continues decades after the first movie in which Russell Crowe played his father, now Lucius has come of age and has gotten far away from his mother, as Variety reveals. While he was still a child, Lucilla sent him to the northern coast of Africa, to a region called Numidia that was (at that point) just outside the reach of the Roman Empire. He never fully understood why, and as he grew stronger, so did his resentment even if his mother’s reasons had been pure. As Gladiator II begins, Mescal’s Lucius, according to Variety, has a wife and child, and lives a relatively peaceful life with them until conquerors from his homeland begin to encroach. He’s taken root in a seacoast town in Numidia. He’s a blue-eyed, fair-skinned man with red hair, and he couldn’t be more different from the inhabitants, director Ridley Scott reveals. It’s one of the last surviving civilizations, as the Romans begin to descend in North Africa and take it all over. Leading that charge is Pedro Pascal’s Marcus Acacius, a Roman general said to have trained as a junior officer under Crowe’s character, although he wasn’t seen in the first movie. Lucius, once the grandson of the emperor of Rome, finds himself a prisoner of it. But when he gets to Rome as a prisoner and has a first round in the arena, he sees his mother—to his shock. He doesn’t know whether she’s alive or not. And she’s now with the general who he came face-to-face with on the wall in Numidia. Lucilla doesn’t recognize the battered creature in the Colosseum as her son, and has no idea about the bloody history between him and the man she loves.
